Coach Javier Mendes said that Khabib Nurmagomedov misses the fights and wants to return.
“I think you could say he wants to fight again. He misses training, misses fighting. Our relationship goes beyond just work. We are like a family because we grew up and developed together. When his brother Abubakar fought, he said he missed this feeling. Probably, he will miss that adrenaline before entering the octagon and the support of the fans. It is difficult to replace it in normal life..." the coach said.
Khabib ended his career last October after a victory over Justin Gaethje.
